Le Métro – Non, le gouvernement ne donne pas plus d’argent aux réfugiés syriens que le salaire moyen au Canada

Hey! Ça faisait un bout que l’inspecteur viral n’avait pas parlé de ses amis, le groupe anti-tout-ce-qui-n’est-pas-ceinture-fléchée, Pégida Québec! Les voici avec une autre publication Facebook sur les «maudits réfugiés syriens»: Pégida affirme que le réfugié syrien moyen obtient 3600$ par mois du gouvernement fédéral, ce qui donne 43 000$ par année (c’est plutôt 43 200$, mais bon).

Toronto Star – German tensions rise after migrant arrested in suspected killing of student

BERLIN—The arrest of a 17-year-old Afghan migrant suspected of raping and killing a university student must not be used for “rabble-rousing and conspiracy propaganda,” Germany’s vice chancellor said Monday as a nationalist party argued that the government bears a share of the blame. The teen, who entered Germany last year as an unaccompanied minor, was arrested Friday. The victim, a 19-year-old medicine student, vanished in mid-October on her way home from a party in the southwestern city of Freiburg and her body was found in a river.

Al Jazeera – US colleges move to protect undocumented students

Universities and colleges in several US states are considering labelling themselves “sanctuary campuses” amid fears from immigrant students and pressure from activists following the election of Donald Trump. College administrators in New Mexico – the state with the highest percentage of Latino residents – are looking into proposals that would grant immigrant students living in the country illegally protections while they pursue their studies.

Al Jazeera – What’s the future of US for-profit immigrant detention?

A large portion of the more than 180 immigrant detention centres in the US are operated by private contractors. The Department of Homeland Security cast doubt on the future of the private detention facilities in August, when the agency’s security secretary said President Barack Obama’s administration may stop using the facilities to effectively incarcerate immigrants. While Obama deported a record 2.5 million immigrants between 2009 and 2015, Donald Trump has vowed to deport up to three million.

CBC-Syrian refugees give back to Vancouver community through food

A group of Syrian women hosted a dinner at the Mount Pleasant Neighbourhood House on Saturday to say thanks for the help they have received in settling in their new country. “They want to give back to the community because they think that Canada [took] them when they didn’t have any place to go to,” said Sherifa Azzab, a settlement worker.”So it is a kind of giving back to the community because they find Canadians very warm and they helped them in the time of need.”
